O'Malley will take part in a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tour the upgraded $32.7 million station.

Halethorpe is among the five busiest stations on the MARC Penn Line. It has more than 1,300 riders a day.

Improvements at the Halethorpe MARC Station, include:

• Two new 700-foot-long, high-level platforms• Pedestrian bridge• New elevators• ADA-compliant sidewalks / ramps• Full platform-length canopies• Kiss-and-Ride drop-off location• New lighting and public address system• Restrooms• Attractive new landscaping and ticket area

"It is in the national interest to invest in critical transportation infrastructure in Maryland and nationwide. Every person that takes MARC to DC or Baltimore means one less car on I-95 and other busy arteries of the Northeast corridor. Improvements at Halethorpe will take cars off the highway, decrease congestion, improve interstate commerce, and reduce pollution," Cardin said. "Projects like the renovations at Halethorpe would not be possible without federal support and Team Maryland is working to make sure the federal government remains a steady partner, making the needed investments in our state transportation network."

Since 2007, the O'Malley administration said it has invested more than $500 million in MARC improvements. The administration also said ridership has reached an all-time record.
